THE CHRISTMAS SONG (CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE)
Lyrics & Music by Mel Torme & Robert Wells
Merry Christmas -
Merry, Merry Christmas....
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
Every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said, many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said, many times, many ways
Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas to you (to you)
We recommend: Nur Wenn Ich Besoffen Bin
The blind leading the blind and the "flock" is ever confused
Who has the ift of healthy sight and mind?
Who can withstand while the others are blown away?
Eyes to see... what the others see not
Ears to hear... the voice of the elders guides
Eyes to see... and the blind; they wither away
You fools! These eyes are never for you
Darkness - corrupting all in its path
Greed leading the man to blindness, suffering
And ever foretold... the meek shall have this earth
Alas without sight they will only be left with
